In this session, we’ll look at Text Analysis using Voyant Tools. Voyant is a text reading and analysis environment for digital texts that lets you dive in and do some light analysis of texts without needing to code. We’ll introduce the core ideas of text mining and provide some hands-on instruction in text analysis, utilizing a user-friendly, web-based tool.

Want to make a visual timeline, but don’t have the time to draw one manually? Or maybe you have some documents, but you’re not sure if the events they depict form a compelling timeline?
TimeLineCurator is an online tool that lets you quickly and automatically find temporal references in freeform text to generate a visual timeline. You can then interactively curate the events in this timeline, or create a mashup of multiple documents against each other to compare their temporal structure.
In this session, Johanna Fulda of the UBC Computer Science InfoVis Group group will give a demo of the tool and show a few projects that were built with it.
